Shofar History and Tradition

The shofar is mentioned in the Torah. An instruction manual, straight from the sources.

This explanation for when the shofar is sounded holds true for all forms of Judaism other than Reform Judaism. Because Reform Judaism does not have a Musaf (additional) service, the shofar service is incorporated into Shaharit, the morning service.

Rabbi Dr. Reuven Hammer is a former President of the International Rabbinical Assembly, he is one of the founders of the Masorti Movement in Israel and is currently Head of the Masorti Beth Din in Israel.
